.@ProfTolson: "In reality, #HR1 is less far reaching than some of Congress’ past Elections Clause statutes, illustrating that the statute is not at the outer limit of congressional authority under the Clause."

.@ProfTolson (@USCGouldLaw): "Despite the Elections Clause’s untapped potential, it has not been a source of much federal legislation, which contributes to the perception that H.R. 1 is unprecedented and therefore unconstitutional."

.@JNelsonLDF: "It is unacceptable that in 2021—56 years after the passage of the Voting Rights Act—the right to vote remains under threat."

.@jnelsonLDF (@NNACP_LDF): "In that decision, Chief Justice John Roberts invited Congress to update the VRA to respond to modern conditions. In the eight years since Shelby was decided, however, Congress has failed to do so, leaving voters of color—and our democracy—unprotected."

Campbell (@NARF): “For most Americans, obtaining identification is a simple act of going to the local Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”). For many American Indian and Alaska Natives, however, the process is not so simple and in fact severely burdensome.”

Professor Lajevardi (@michiganstateu): "Today, voter identification laws represent one of the nation’s most important barriers to voting, and thus, one of the country’s most important civil rights issues."
